An understanding of basic anatomy contributes to accurate communications between
field providers as well as hospital personal. Understanding anatomy is critical to be
able to use the mechanism of injury to determine potential injuries sustained by the
patient.
Objective (SPO): 1-1
The student will be able to identify, from memory and without assistance,
topographic anatomical landmarks, positions, body systems and their functions.
